A blog exploring the work of Jean Henri Gaston Giraud(1938 - 2012) , aka Gir, aka Moebius.
[The official site of Moebius] - While there aren't many of his works available to an English-only audience, the last thing I want to do is take away from potential sales by hosting his work here. If you speak French and can enjoy his books the way they were originally meant to be enjoyed, please click over and show him and his publishers some love.

Career Timeline: 1983 - Upon a Star, part 1/4
Moebius is contacted by the Citroën car company about making a promotional comic for their sales force, focusing on their Traction Avant model. What began as a 4 page story assignment grew into 39 pages, and the beginning of a long running series that would become known as The Aedena Cycle.
[the above pages come from the English translation printed in Marvel/Epic’s Moebius 1: Upon a Star, 1987]

Reblogging this because Matt Senica showcases it in the newest entry to his “Your Wednesday Sequence” column. A short read that’s worth your time.

Posting sequential pages of a strip here is a little odd. I’ve been posting them in order, which makes sense for followers who read them as soon as they go up. But to read whole strips after I’ve posted them, one needs to click on the tag and scroll all the way down to the first entry. This can take going through multiple pages, and makes me almost want to post them in reverse order for the sake of posterity. I won’t, but still. It’s weird. I also wish I would’ve added a tag to all of Stel and Atan’s Aedena Cycle stories, since there is a very clear succession to them. I didn’t have that foresight, so here they are in order:
Upon A Star (39 pages)
The Gardens of Aedena (51 pages)
The Goddess (81 pages)
Stel (74 pages, posting in progress)
These are incredibly wonderful stories. I personally think these are Moebius’ opus and, along with his Airtight Garage strips, display the purest distillation of the man’s work. They’re my favorite, anyway.
